introduction
Since the Han Dynasty, China has set up the Western Regions Protectorate in Tibet, and in the Tang Dynasty, the beautiful love story of Princess Wencheng and Songzan Gampo has also witnessed the Han-Tibetan family, and by the time of the Yuan Dynasty, Tibet began to officially fall under the jurisdiction of the central government.
Whether it was in the past or at present, Tibet belongs to our territory, and no one or organization can tolerate division or interference in it, and Our determination to safeguard national unity should not be underestimated, and it also has strong enough military strength to deal with all threats. We must also always remember the heroes who made great contributions to the peaceful liberation of Tibet, including Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme.

In the late Qing Dynasty, due to the decay of internal ruling forces, various problems arose in the Qing court in state governance and social and economic management, the quality of life of the people at the bottom dropped sharply, and political and military struggles also occurred within the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, in Tibet, there was also a power struggle, production was withering, and the people were not happy.
In 1950, the central government sent peace negotiators to Tibet to negotiate with the then Tibetan government. At the same time as the negotiations were going on, they were instigated by some foreign forces and the reactionary forces in Tibet concentrated the armed forces of the Tibetan army in the Qamdo area in a vain attempt to deploy troops in advance to prevent the People's Liberation Army from entering Tibet. The relevant departments of the central authorities have long had an insight into the attempts of the opposition forces, and decisively dispatched the People's Liberation Army across the Jinsha River, liberating Qamdo like an autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
At the urging of the central government, patriots advocating peaceful liberation in Tibet took the lead and came to Beijing on behalf of the Tibetan regional government, with Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme as one of the leaders of the delegation.

Later, in the War of Liberation, the new forces advocating peaceful liberation, represented by Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme, have been seeking the development of the Tibetan region, and they also realized that only communism can save the miserable lives of tens of millions of low-level people in Tibet.
